Becsuse he isn't the typical negro they expect.
It's all apart of this ongoing campaign
denigrate anything black that isn't representative of the stereotypes they expect.
If Kendrick was out here doing the exact same s*** on albums but during his down time doing ignorant s*** and staying in the headlines...no one would call him that.
They want Kendrick acting like a fool on IG live like a bunch of other rappers
To me Kendrick is like the least hateable rapper
Of all the mainstream artists that have a sxn on this site, kendrick and frank recieved the least amount of hate
He be doing a lil too much at times. Doesn’t help that he got a bullshit Pulitzer Prize for an album either

Y’all really pulling this race thing outta nowhere huh
Some people find him, or rather his fans, fake deep, fake artistic, whatever
People usually assign their grievances with fans onto artists
Kendrick stans in a nutshell right here
see my previous post with Miley Cyrus's comment about Hip-Hop
Far from a Kendrick Stan
I just know how it is when it comes to black men and cultural stereotypes and how we are expected to act and the image people want us to have. When we don’t fit that image s*** gets murky for people. Whether it be an athlete, musicians, or just a regular ol nigga in the work place with a 9-5.
Maybe you not able to understand where I’m coming from cause you don’t live it though
I want to press my like, yeah, I wanna press my
I want a green light, I wanna be like
I wanna press my line, yeah
I wanna take that ride, yeah
I'm gonna press my line
I want a green light, I wanna be like, I wanna press my—
Mama, dear, spare your feelings
I'm relivin' moments, peeling more residual
(I can) buy the building, burn the building
Take your b****, rebuild the building just to f*** some more
(I can) justify my love for you
And touch the sky for God to stop, debating war
Put the p**** on a pedestal (Ayy)
Put the p**** on a high horse
That p**** to die for
That p**** to die for
Peter, piper, picked a pepper
So I could pick your brain and put your heart together
We depart the shady parts and party hard
The diamonds yours, the coupe forever
My best shots might shoot forever like (Brr)
Fire

This facts tho. When you look at what they be hyping up and find cool and what they find lame, it’s clear what type of time they want these niggas to be on.
Kendrick disappointed me with the I go months without a phone quote
It’s ok to be mysterious, but don’t try to tell us how mysterious you are
It’s less him but the marketing and glowing press behind him. It’s like calling Radiohead pretentious for that Pitchfork Kid A review. People actually started doing that. The internet often responds to how people talk about artists rather than the artists themselves.

why are y'all so pressed about this quote?
he used to be on his phone more often, now he's going months without it cause there are things going on in his life
I can't see how it's pretentious or flexing in any way

you think this man has a whole family and really goes months without his phone?
stans are so gullible
like we get you like to disconnect from the world, but don’t lie to us or allude that you’re more unplugged than you really are

Kendrick stans in a nutshell right here
see my previous post with Miley Cyrus's comment about Hip-Hop
im confused by that post because the majority of kendrick's fans are suburan hip hop fans and dude was exalted by old white people with the Pulitizer.
There is the suburban hip hop fan who only likes "nigga s***," there is also the suburban hip hop fan who spews that miley cyrus s***, only like "positive" rappers
that post is confusing considering the people and sitatuions kendrick talk with his music. For all the pulitizer and critical acclaim and all that.... If the song ELEMENT comes on church going black ladies will probably want to hear something else.
all that critically acclaimed savior veil wrapped around him is out the window when IF I GOTTA SLAP A P**** NIGGA IMMA make it look sexy / I dont give a f*** x 5 comes on .... Older Folks hear ELEMENT no different than MASK OFF
it's like nas said some people consider him a gangster/street rapper some people consider him conscious
